UK GRC alternative with IASME-licensed Cyber Essentials and six-working-hour turnaround.
Tugboat Logic (now part of OneTrust Compliance Automation) focuses on ISO 27001 and SOC 2 evidence automation. Fig Group is the UK-resident alternative with IASME-licensed Cyber Essentials available separately, a published six-working-hour certification guarantee, and a multi-tenant MSP workflow.

Buyer-fit analysis
This page was last reviewed on 27 September 2026. We separate certificate delivery, platform fit, MSP workflow, and procurement risk so the comparison is useful rather than just a vendor scorecard. The Basic guarantee applies to complete, compliant submissions received before midday on a UK Business Day, subject to our certification terms. Platform subscriptions and certification are separate purchasing options.
Where Fig Group is the cleaner fit
Tugboat Logic now sits in the OneTrust ecosystem. Fig Group is the cleaner fit when the immediate problem is CE certification, support, and reusable evidence rather than consolidation into a larger enterprise suite.
Fig Group is better suited where an MSP owns delivery across clients and needs a multi-tenant operating workflow rather than a single enterprise GRC instance.
If CE is the urgent gate and ISO 27001 follows later, Fig Group keeps the first certificate quick while preserving evidence for the broader programme.
Where Tugboat Logic (OneTrust Certification Automation) may be the cleaner fit
If privacy, risk, vendor management, and certification work already sit inside OneTrust, extending that suite can be operationally simpler.
For large enterprise teams buying a broad governance suite, OneTrust may fit procurement and internal ownership better than a CE-first workflow.
Claims to verify before buying
How to read this
It is which route fits the buyer's certification, data residency, MSP, and assurance requirements. Fig Group is strongest where Cyber Essentials certification, IASME-licensed assessment, UK support, published pricing, and MSP delivery are part of the requirement. Tugboat Logic (OneTrust Certification Automation) may still be the better choice where its existing product focus, contract position, or implementation model is already aligned to the buyer.
Step 01
A formal certificate, a compliance automation platform, a consultancy engagement, or a mixture. Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus must be delivered through an IASME-licensed certification body; generic compliance automation alone does not issue the official certificate.
Step 02
If the job is to pass Cyber Essentials quickly, the decisive evidence is IASME licence status, assessor responsiveness, price, re-submission policy, and certificate turnaround. If the job is broader governance automation, the decisive evidence is control ownership, policy workflow, evidence retention, and renewal support.
